"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

The last time I saw Donna Douglas, she was about to flay Bill Bixby alive over hot coals for translating the ancient spell that allowed Vincent Price's dismembered twin to reassemble himself and kill Vincent Price. Probably a Night Gallery. Possibly a made for tv movie.

I think I've related this before. Donna Douglas must have made quite an impression on me.

I doubt Elly May carried a pocket knife, but if she did it must have been a slim one.

Donna Douglas? She was so ugly, the pig-face doctors on Twilight Zone were gonna give her plastic surgery.
I guess it's all in the "Eye of the Beholder." ;)

I bought a new Accord last December, we still have a 2005 Civic with only 77,000 miles on it. I had owned a 2011 Subaru Forester, a great small suv, but the gas mileage was atrocious and it was awful on tires. I was never quite satisfied with the quality or the ride. The Accord gets about 40 mpg, drives and rides like a dream, and has all the features that make sense (back up camera, lane warning, etc) for us as we age. Plus gives room for the two grandchildren still in car seats.

The new Corollas and Civics are about the size of an early Camry or Accord. Nothing like my 1976 Corolla. If either Honda or Toyota made a small basic pickup again, I think it would be a great seller.

Her Pa was always whittling, though.

LOL! :D I'm sure about 30 seconds in the stage make-up chair would have made a difference! :D :thumbsup:

I just watched that episode again, after many years. That Rod Serling was a master at spinning a yarn. "Next stop Willoughby!"

His son james married mariah carey...and promptly divorced....money doesnt by happiness...
 
Sigh. The dog is from So Cal. That's all I can say. Last night we had a sudden heavy rain shower. Our dog did not recognize the noise and yammered at the door. I let her out and she ran around the yard barking, trying to find whoever or whatever was making the noise made by the large drops hitting the ground.

Frank that was coffee spiting hilarious. I love my Pit, Nyla but that dog is dumb as a rock however I try to overlook it because like me she's from Southern Appalachia and everyone has heard about us Hillbillies. :eek::D:D

Hey, I had a '76 Corolla, too! :cool::thumbsup: I borrowed $3000 from my grandma, and paid $3600 cash for the car in the fall of 1976. I thought it was a great car and drove it for 13 years. I also had a little 1992 Isuzu pickup that was plenty big enough for my needs (I hauled a full-size piano in it twice), plus it had a trailer hitch and lighting harness if I needed it. I drove that for 14 years then sold it to my neighbor, who gave it to his nephew, who gave it to his father-in-law, and it lasted another 6 years before the frame finally rusted through.

Barrett, only a native Arkansan transplanted to MN (by way of AZ) could make this claim! :eek::D I wonder if you'll be singing a different tune after, say, your third MN winter?? ;)

Sounds like another example of a pet and owner starting to resemble each other, Randy! :D I'm not sure which direction the resemblance is supposed to go, though. Does a pet start resembling its owner, or does the owner start resembling the pet? I'm leaning toward the latter, since I seem to be starting to develop an underbite like our silly little Shih Tzu! :eek::rolleyes:

Skipping generations...

My Grandpa was a great guy. He worked in a lumber mill all his life, made his own wine, used to love to hunt and fish and camp, wore a hat and carried a knife every day.

My father (I guess) rebelled against his upbringing. He worked in an office, hated knives and guns and anything to do with the outdoors. He wouldn't be caught dead wearing a hat.

I worked in lumber mills, worked ranches, competed in rodeo, wear hats and carry knives every day, and live in the outdoors when I can. Perhaps I'm just rebelling against my upbringing too. :D

We must have been on parallel paths, I paid $3500 for mine cash. A four speed, four door, with a basic radio and no A/C. I kept it until we had our second kid. My sister in law drove it for several years, then my father in law used it for his utility car...never had one issue with it. It was that tacky green with the medium brown interior.

I also had an Isuzu four wheel drive pick up (I think it was an 83). Great little pick up, drove and rode much better than the Nissans of the same vintage. One of the most underrated pickups ever built.

"Clogs to clogs in three generations" as they say round here John :) Not that I'm suggesting you wear clogs! :D :thumbsup:

Sounds like we had the same model '76 Corolla (although I suspect there weren't a lot of options back then). Mine was bright yellow, though. That wouldn't have been my first choice of color, but I ended up kind of liking its visibility.

My Isuzu pickup was rear wheel drive. I'm a little bit surprised that in over 50 years of driving, most of it in Michigan with lots of snow, I've never owned a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
